You can always start here:
But plain and simple...I'm a pop culture geek...I've lived in L.A. since '99 and happily make a living in the TV biz!
Here's an "E! True Hollywood Story," my friend Ted along with my other friends Scott and Drew put together for my birthday. Some of the facts may or may not be true...you be the judge!
When I'm not busy making sure the masses get their fix of reality television , I can usually be found doing one or more of the following...
* Gathering my friends together for a TV night or better yet, a game night to test drive the latest board game I picked up from the store
* Figuring out ways to update my website: mandelweb.com
* Plunking out tunes on my piano pretending I'm some sort illegitimate child of Elton John and Ben Folds in my living room
* Belting out a song...or two...or three...like I'm some sort of illegitimate child of Elton John and Ben Folds at karaoke night at Fubar
* Humming some obscure network jingle like "Now is the time...ABC is the Place"...such a lost art form...
* Being the perpetual "Phone-a-Friend" - for instance, getting a call from a friend who needs to know what obscure sitcom so-and-so starred in back in so-and-so year...(that would be "Buffalo Bill" with a young Geena Davis...cue all-too-catch theme song and Dabney Coleman montage...HERE)
* Spending way too much time online either chatting or going through Ebay looking (but never having the guts to buy) whatever game show, EPCOT, or classic video game memorabilia I stumble across...now if I can just save enough for that Multicade cocktail table!
* Constantly scanning blogs like TVGasm and Television Without Pity to see the latest snark...
* Plotting out what my next theme party at my house will be
* Marveling at the latest cool thing I've learned how to do with my Mac. YAY for video iChat!
* Still grinning about how the "1/2 Off," the game I created, is still on "The Price is Right!" (Bob said it's "thrilling!")
* Fantasizing about how I'd make this movie into a big stage production...
* Staying up way too late going through Youtube reliving my past watching commercials like this...
* Convincing my friends to put together videos like this holiday special we produced:
featuring the original, soon-to-be holiday classic, "Keep Christmas Gay and Bright!"
